warm a room, without the aid OF coal. wood,
or other fuel NO DANGER.
There is not the slightest danger in using
kerosene with the Fuel Cartridge, as from its
omen porous form it conn0t explode and is
therefore, no more dangerous than Coal or
Wood. HOW USED.

The PROGRESS OF RAILROADS.

IHE PROGRESS OF hAILROADS.-1
To persons of our younger genera
tions the idea of having been with
out railroads seems almost as pre-
posterous as being without horses
and wagons. Yet manv of our cit
liens to-day remember when the
only public mode of land travel,
was by stage-coaches. Belsoover's
line of stages between Baltimore
and Washington formerly made.
the trip in four hours, having four.
relays, and the coachman's horn of
that day really created more COM
ment than the whistle of the iron
horse does to-day. 1t may be a
matter of interest to our readers TO
take view of the progress of rail
roads not only in this country but
in the world.
The first railway locomotive was
built by Richard Trevitheck,i in Eng
land in 1904. Its first performance
was to draw ten tons of bar iron
ut the rate Of 81 miles per hour.
The Stockton and Darlington road
was opened in 1928. This road
had a signal-man who rode on horse
back in advance of the train. The
first road built for transportation
of passengers and freight was begun
by the b. & o., July 4, 1928. The
South Carolina road begun i'll 1880
opened in '33 its whole line of 135
miles, being at that time the long
est continuous road in the world.
To-day the United States are far
ahead of any country in the world
in this respect, indeed have more
miles in operation than all of Great
Britain and continental Europe
combined. The total mileage of
roads in the world was Jan. LIST,
1886, 317,69S, of this the United
States had 1865. Great Britain
and Continental Europe had at this
period 1913, 526, while South Amer
lea had only 11,708, Asia 1926
and Africa 4,506. That one may
see something of these strides of
progress it is only necessary to re-
fer to Poor's Manual of the railroads
of the u. S. In 1871 there were
44,614 miles in operation, capital
and funded debt of $2,664, 627, 645
with net earnings of $141, 746,-
404. In 1886 there were 1873, 800
miles in operation with capital and
funded debt of 81, 1888. 424, s9S, and
net earnings of $3.50, 1889 The
total cost of construction and equip
ment of each mile of road has aver
aged $55, 059, the average dividend
paid has been 2 per cent, the aver
age passenger fare 24 cents per
mile and the average freight per ton
about l cent. The fastest regular
time made by any roadin this coun-
try is between N. Y. and Phila.,
where 90 miles are made in 2 hours
and 5 minutes. The fastest time
ever made, has been at the rate of
81 miles an hour. The fastest
English regular time is on the Great
Northern from London to Sheffield
where the time is so! miles per
hour. Jarrett and Palmer in June
1876, made the 3,176 miles between
Jersey City and San Francisco at
an average of 3S miles an hour
There are many among us who re-
member when the A. & Z. r. Il.
was considered great road-t
would stop anywhere on The wave
of handkerchief to take up pas
sengers, and it is told that it was
no unusual thing in the Second dis
trict for men to wave MIR. Ham
mond down to get ''chaw Of plug
tobacker.' Comparisons will show
us the strides in this great factor
Of American progress.
